Sacred Truths of the Chakra Centers in our body.

I use this concept of “sacred truths” connected to each chakra.
Caroline Myss' Chakra System of Sacred Truths
Understanding Your Sacred Truths
Caroline Myss teaches that the strengths and fears associated with each of the seven chakras follow from either honoring, or not honoring, the sacred truth associated with each of the body's chakras, or energy centers. If the sacred truth is not honored, the likelihood of energy weakness, and possibly physical dysfunctions may increase.

I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
I love you.
Thank you.

Ancient Kanaka Maoli wisdom from Hawai’i teaches that anything that comes to our attention is our responsibility. Anything that may be considered as negative can be cleared with the four phrases above.

By clearing any negative vibrations that may be attached to any person, place or thing, these four phrases can also attract positive vibrations to every area of your life.

The fun part is ... you are saying the phrases to yourself to clear whatever is happening inside you that resonates with any problem that comes to your attention.

I can easily wrap my heart and mind around the idea that I can always ask forgiveness for whatever part I have contributed to any problem.

You will discover that saying the phrases makes you happy.

And I believe that unhappiness is the only problem.

You can say them in any order. Use different tones of voice. Get creative. Have fun.

For example:
Recently a check out person at WholeFoods was really grumpy and rude to us. On the way out the door, my daughter says, "I am sorry that checker was so rude." "Please forgive me for having to interact with such a rude person." "Thank you so much that the rudeness was left behind." " I love us because we are clearing the negative energy instead of getting mad."

or

The first day of our vacation at Harstine, my daughter called from home saying that she had accidently locked her keys in the car and AAA wouldn't come if I wasn't there. The car was in the driveway of our home, but of course the spare key was no where to be found. I was very stressed and frustrated when I hung up the phone.....not the way I wanted to start my vacation.....and once again, my other daughter chimes in, "I am sorry". Then I immediately joined in with "Please forgive me." "I love you." "Thank you." And we were laughing as we said it again..... and again..... and just one more time for emphasis!

Especially now with all the troubling news about politics, the economy, and natural disasters, this is a very useful, positive way to contribute to the possibility of a solution instead of staying stuck in the problem.

For example:
Say to yourself with Sarah in mind, "I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you." (IT WORKED!)

Say to yourself with the stock market in mind, " I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you."

Say to yourself with Hurricane Katrina in mind, "I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you."

Remember ... you are saying the phrases to yourself to clear whatever is happening inside you that resonates with any problem that comes to your attention.

The next time something happens that would normally create a negative emotion or response, pause and say,

I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
I love you.
Thank you.

Luminous Mind of Gratitude and Thanksgiving

The moment you shift from a mindstate of negativity or judgment to one of appreciation, there are immediate effects at many levels of your being: brain function becomes more balanced, harmonized, and supple; your heart begins to pump in a much more coherent and harmoniously balanced rhythm; and biochemical changes trigger a host of healthful balancing reactions throughout your body.

In the healing ways of indigenous people, the restorative power of gratitude was well understood. A heart filled with gratitude generates actions and prayers that complete the circle between the gift offered to us, the receiver of the gift, and the sacred source of the gift. To offer prayers of thanksgiving is a gesture of rejoicing in discovering the many gifts that life brings us.

Here is a practice to dwell in gratitude and thanksgiving:

Sitting quietly, shift toward dynamic balance with a few minutes of mindful breathing.

Bring to mind someone for whom you are deeply grateful. As you breathe in, take this person to heart. Breathing out, let your heartfelt gratitude shine deeply and brightly to them and through them. Continue for as long as you like, letting each breath take to heart a loved one, a friend, someone who has been kind to you, someone who is teaching you patience or how to forgive.

Let each breath shine from the depths of your being through the depths of their being in order to light up their life with your love. Taking your eyes, your ears, your hands, your intelligence to heart, bless them in a similar way with the heartfelt radiance of your appreciation. Whoever or whatever comes to mind, gather them into your heart, one at a time or all together.

Taking these many gifts to heart, complete and affirm the circle with gratitude, assuring that the stream of blessings in your life and in the universe will be unbroken."

-- Excerpted from Joel & Michelle Levey's new book
Luminous Mind: Meditation & Mind Fitness

Each Flower Essences holds a unique vibrational wisdom.

Each Flower Essences holds a unique vibrational wisdom that breaks up some specific illusion that we exist separate from God. If we hold onto an illusion for long enough, it becomes more than just a mental or emotional idea in our energy system and will manifest in our physical body and affect our health.

For example, if your parents told you when you were small that you were a “pain in the neck”, you might believe it and proceed in all your interactions, even into adulthood, with the belief that you were an irritation to others. Eventually you might actually experience a pain in your neck.

Your body manifests the ideas you hold, whether you are fully conscious of them or not. Taking a Flower Essence to address a mental or emotional illusion will often result in a physical improvement. As the idea is dissolved, so too is the physical out-picturing of the idea.

When we take a Flower Essence, we offer our energy system a choice between continuing to vibrate at the denser rate of our mental or emotional illusion, or replacing it with the Flower Essence’s specific higher vibration of Oneness beyond illusion.

If you were the person experiencing this illusion of being a pain in the neck, you might take an Essence like Pink Tecoma with its vibrational truth “ I AM unconditionally loved by God. I AM God’s beloved child. The Divine Mother holds me in her embrace.” Pink Tecoma would hold this vibration in your energy system until you released the illusion and remembered the original truth.

I am not a purist about how to heal the illnesses resulting from our illusions, but one reason I love Flower Essences is because they so thoroughly get to the heart of the matter, once and for all. I have needed allopathic interventions in my life and am grateful for their gifts, but I look to Flower Essences to get to the source of the problems and to help me heal on the deepest level possible.

Each Flower Essences is a unique vibration of Love. So are we. Love is really at the heart of all illusion-busting and is our path home to Oneness with God. Flower Essences ignite the love within us, and therein lies their magic.

Heart Focus, Heart Breathing, Heart Feeling

This is taken from the folks at Heart Math.

As you focus on the area of your heart, pretend your breathing is flowing in and out through your heart in a relaxed way….now, breathing just a little deeper than usual……connect with your core heart feelings… allowing shifts to just happen…

Let feelings of appreciation, love, care, compassion, connection, forgiveness, grace and gratitude wash through every cell of your body …now
As you do …use your intuition to recall a positive feeling….. a time when you felt good inside……experience it now……… Allowing it to happen naturally…
feelings of appreciation….of love….of care…….you have towards a special person, pet, or place you enjoy, or an activity that is fun…… it is often easier to let your unconscious do it easily and effortlessly…. letting that flow and deepen in any other ways.

As you engage your heart intelligence you bring about an increase in the coherence of all your systems…..and widen your heart rate variability wave as you create balance and harmony, enhance creativilty…..reduce stress, anxiety, and worry……make the changes you want to make in your life by aligning your heart and mind so your actions are genuine and effective.

Your emotions become aligned and in sync with your intentions in balance and understanding on all levels.
1) Notice and recognize any stress, any negative emotion or behavior pattern.
2) Push the imaginary pause button and freeze the frame.
3) Transferring energy from the perception of the problem to the possibility of for its solution.
4) Calm your negative mind and emotions.
5) Connect with positive feelings of appreciation, care, love, compassion, and forgiveness.
6) Attune your heart…now listen……using your intuition, common sense and sincerity…ask your heart “What would be a more efficient response to this situation, …. One that would minimize future stress?”
7) Receive insights and increase your capacity to arrive at convenient and practical solutions……accessing new resources, abilities and information that is now available to you.

With clarity and self awareness easily see the link between your thoughts, feelings, reactions and choices…..you are now free to experience the good things in life for a change, now that you know what works……your own emotional resonance you send out from your coherent heart …… it is like a magnet attracting people, situations, and opportunities as you enjoy this state of appreciation, love, care, compassion, connection, forgiveness, grace and gratitude.

Morning Song

This is from Richard Ross and his Life Transformation Site

A “Morning Song” For Healing and Transformation
The following “Morning Song” came through a non-physical teacher I follow, named P’taah, who is channeled through Jani King. For more information on both, simply click on either of the aforementioned names.

The “Morning Song” is meant to be sung aloud each morning to any tune you wish. It does not matter at all what tune is used, in fact, it is my belief that you can simply say it as a prayer or invocation and the results will be the same. What is most important is that it is done aloud and that it is with intention. So here it is:

P'taah's Morning Song

"Indeed, you may create your own tune but we will give you the words.

Are you ready?"

"From the God/ Goddess of my being

I give forth thanks

For the love that I am,

for the love in my life and the love that surrounds me,

thank you.

Thank you for the miracle of life that I am

and thank you for the miracle of life

I see reflected all about me.

Thank you for the gift of life that I am.

Thank you for this perfect body,

my health and well-being,

thank you.

Thank you for the abundance that I am and

thank you for the abundance I see reflected all about me.

Thank you for the riches and the richness of my life and

thank you for the river of money

which flows to me and through me,

thank you.

Thank you for the excitement

and adventure of the millions of wondrous possibilities,

thank you.

Thank you for the wonderment

and thank you for the joy.

Thank you for the beauty and harmony.

Thank you for the peace and tranquility.

Thank you for the laughter

and thank you for the play.

And thank you for the privilege of serving and sharing

the gift that I am.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! "

"And, by the way, all of those things that you have given thanks for do exist in your life. Love is the truth of you and there is not a lot of lack here. Your body is a miracle and is absolutely perfect. You are abundance. How could it be any other way?

And all about you in your exterior reality you are surrounded by love, by abundance, by the miracle of life. And you do know about the possible and probable realities -- wondrous and limitless.

You do know about peace and tranquility; about love and joy and laughter and play. And even if you cannot really grasp it in this Now, you truly are a gift.

Sing this song to your universe each day as you go forth to bathe your body, as you stand beneath the delicious flow of water and your beautiful body is warm and relaxed. The water is crystalline in property and is grandly magnifying, and as you sing forth the words, the sound embraced by the feeling in the Is-ness, in the Now of being in total abundance, you are in that reality. And as you go forth in your day, you carry with you the resonance, the energy that knows no lack."
